After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 16 You abuse my child and you deduct my salary?!
"Tianci, your sister has been in a bad mood recently. Don't bother with her. You're not in good health..." Zhao Rui stroked Lu Tianci's back again and again with heartache.

The scene that seemed normal at first seemed particularly glaring in Lu Ning's eyes.

"Mom and Dad, Gu Chi is malnourished now. Don't you realize the seriousness of the problem?" Not to mention that Gu Chi has been in this family for two years, even Lu Meng feels a little heartbroken now.

"Why, do you think we are torturing him now?" Lu Ziming's face was gloomier than the sky outside. "Just anemia and malnutrition make you so distressed, and you still say it's not a self-torture trick by that kid. Since he is so scheming, let him die outside."

Lu Ning only felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Now they just believed that Gu Chi was using a self-torture tactic and were not aware of their own problems at all.

Fortunately, she and Lu Meng have both come to their senses, and it seems that it is not too late.

Lu Ning wanted to say something, but when she looked at Lu Tianci nestling in her mother's arms, she swallowed back what she was about to say.

"You guys take a look for yourselves. I'll go upstairs first." Then he followed her upstairs.

"Tianci, you should go upstairs and have some rest. Your mother and I have something to talk about." Lu Ziming's voice was extremely gentle and doting.

"Okay!" With Lu Tianci's intelligence, even if he was not listening, he could guess the general idea of ​​the conversation between the two of them.

In the entire Lu family, even Lu Meng, who was always shrewd, was still controlled by him.

What's more, in his eyes, these two people are just his most loyal "suck-ups".

In the past, Gu Chi was also the same, who came when summoned and left when dismissed, but now it seems that his temperament has changed. However, it is just as well, because that guy should not have come back in the first place.

Seeing Lu Tianci's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, Lu Ziming spoke seriously.

"I asked you to take care of this household. There is an aunt and even a nutritionist at home, but you ended up in such a state?" Lu Ziming looked like he was going to accuse someone.

"Now you know that you are blaming me. Who is the person who deprives him of food and puts him in solitary confinement all day long?" Zhao Rui glared at Lu Ziming fiercely.

"You..." Lu Ziming, who was scolded, immediately showed an expression on his face, "Aunt Wu!"

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Aunt Wu almost ran out of the kitchen.

"You said the other day that Master Gu Chi was malnourished. Don't you usually give him some special food?"

Lu Ziming's words made Aunt Wu a little confused and she didn't know how to react.

He is the head of the family, and he has ordered that no meals be eaten. People like them would be guilty even of delivering meals, let alone cooking for themselves.

What's going on now? Why are they putting all the blame on her?

"..." For Aunt Wu, there was nothing to say at this moment.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. They were not nice to their own son, and now they are blaming her, a cook.

When she was put in solitary confinement as punishment, she had only given Gu Chi a small piece of bread, but she was deducted half a month's salary.

Now that the child has problems, instead of looking for the reasons in himself, he puts all the blame on her.

"Don't you have anything to say? As you are an elder in our family, I will deduct half a month's salary from you. Just leave." Lu Ziming looked magnanimous.

It was another half month's salary, but now she could only swallow it.

"Yes." She turned back to the kitchen, holding the kitchen knife tightly and raised it high, but then gently put it down. She now saw through it. This family was simply hypocritical to death.

Just because the adopted son is smarter and more tactful, they actually treat their biological son differently. They will regret it in the future.

Aunt Wu felt more and more resentful, but she could do nothing about it.

At this moment, the protagonist they were talking about, Gu Chi, was purchasing fresh vegetables in various greenhouses.

"Uncle Li, the vegetables here are so complete." Gu Chi did not expect that this seemingly ordinary vegetable farmer actually owned such a large planting base.

"That's true. I'm not exaggerating. There are more than a dozen categories. You can pick as many as you can." Uncle Li waved his hand with an attitude of 'I'll pay for everything'.

"Uncle Li, actually I have something I want to ask you." Gu Chi said with an embarrassed smile.

"What do you mean by asking for advice or not? Just say whatever you want to say."

"It's like this. It's been raining heavily here these past few days. What kind of vegetables do you think will be easier to sell if we bring them back?" Gu Chi rolled up his short-sleeved T-shirt. It was so hot and stuffy here that he even drank two bottles of mineral water, but he didn't even feel like going to the bathroom.

"I checked the weather forecast. It will still be cloudy in your place in the next few days. In order to avoid extreme weather, everyone will definitely stock up on vegetables. If you just sell them casually, they will definitely sell well."

Listening to Uncle Li's words, Gu Chi nodded in agreement.

"You are indeed experienced and you consider things more comprehensively than us two young people." Gu Chi complimented with a smile.

It was obvious that Uncle Li benefited greatly from it.

Growing vegetables in greenhouses may seem simple and requires physical labor, but if you want to run a business on this scale, you need some brains to pull it off.

"I rely on the weather for my living. Any small disturbance like this could affect the price of vegetables." Uncle Li took out his walkie-talkie and said, "Just wait. I'll go get some workers to come over. We'll collect the vegetables and load them onto the truck at the same time."

Gu Chi smiled and nodded. He really liked dealing with people like Uncle Li, who was simple and direct, without beating around the bush.

They harvested the vegetables and loaded them onto trucks at the same time, with surprisingly high efficiency.

Uncle Li also specially sent a few workers to help, which made Gu Chi feel very grateful.

"Gu Chi, you have to transport so many vegetables back this time, so you have to be careful and pay attention to safety on the road." Uncle Li reminded him while helping to load the truck.

"Don't worry, Uncle Li, I will be careful." Gu Chi nodded with a smile.

"If you need anything in the future, just give me a call. If you encounter any difficulties in life, just tell me." After only spending half a day together, Uncle Li felt reluctant to leave.

"Got it. You go ahead and do your work, Uncle Li. We'll go back first." Gu Chi set off for home with a car full of vegetables.

After returning home, Gu Chi immediately started to get busy. He sorted and organized the vegetables, and then recorded them one by one according to the prices given by Uncle Li.

"Gu Chi, shall we go to the vegetable market?" Xu Xin asked while driving.

"No, I'm not going to the vegetable market!" Gu Chi smiled and looked at the still gloomy sky in the distance, and laughed.
